This project proposes a Transit Oriented Development just outside downtown Gallatin, Tennessee. The New Town Development is centered on a transit stop and expands to encompass a half-mile walking distance. Right now the plan is proposing a Bus Rapid Transit stop but could be easily converted to Light Rail or Commuter Rail. The town was developed with the ideals of the old British town in mind, keeping a defined edge to limit the likelihood of sprawl, and incorporating many public scale green spaces reminiscent of the Poundbury masterplan by Leon Krier. There is currently a large Gap Clothing Company distribution center located just south of the site that employs nearly 1000 people, with the Volunteer State Community College just south of that.
on the boulevard from the east end of the development to the western office park. The boulevard is anchored in the eastern direction at a water basin and community area, and in the west at the large commercial center.
The design focuses on a large quad space that stretches from the transit stop to the proposed school. There are many public facilities located in the quad to engage the people of the town and encourage an active environment. Some of these include a bike shop where people could rent or buy bikes located just off the greenway, a place to rent canoes near the main pond, and a daycare.
Phase 3 of development proposes an office park just east of the Gap complex. These buildings would be generic office buildings to accommodate a large variety of tenants.
There is also an urban farm located in the main quad. This is a facility where members of the community can purchase a plot to plant grains and vegetables. Connected to the plots is a farmers market where the fresh food grown there can be sold to the public. Located next to the market is a small cafĂŠ and restaurant that would also purchase products from the urban farm. Harris Lane, which currently connects US 31 and Vietnam Veterans Blvd has been widened and converted to the developments main boulevard. Part of the greenway is carried through the main median
Some amenities of the development include a sports complex which hosts tennis and basketball courts, a baseball field, and a soccer field, a swimming complex, and an existing equestrian that has been updated and expanded. The quad also contains a large amphitheater for public gatherings and town meetings.
There are four main types of housing proposed in the development, courtyard style apartment buildings, wuferhauses, row houses, and urban villas. Phase 1 would see the development of the wuferhauses in full, and the courtyard building along the boulevard. Phase 2 would contain roughly half of the developments row housing, and Phase 3 would bring the urban villas and the remaining row houses. Units were created to have a first floor of commercial development and remaining residential adding a lot of mixed-use opportunities.
